As I think many MuppetCentral long-timers know, I am a very big MSTie.

Once I have every episode (I have about 95 now, so I still have a ways to go), I'm going to go through and find all the direct Muppet refs and send them into Ward E at the Info Club.

Originally posted by Drtooth I forgot the most obvious Yoda refference. SPACE BALLS!!! In it, Mel Brooks plays a rumpled up old Jewish wiseman named Yogurt! Yogurt the wise! Yogurt the Powerfull. "Please! I'm just plain Yogurt!"

The other night, I was watching a rerun of That '70s Show. The title of the episode was "That '70s Musical". Anyhoo, they started the episode out by singing "Sing a Song" from Sesame Street. It was "pitchy neat."

In Worms: Armageddon, at least for some of the voice banks, when you attack someone with Air Strike, one of the possible things your worm will say into the walkie-talkie to call in the air strike is "Come in, Big Bird!"

I just got Family guy on DVD, so I know all the muppet references from season one and two.

From the episode the_great_gonzo was talking about:
(MEG and PETER are sitting on a bench in New York by an Ice Rink)
MEG: (Birdcalls)
(3 Seconds of silence)
BIG BIRD: Yeah, what'd want?
(Awkward silence from MEG and PETER)
BIG BIRD: You called me, right?
MEG: (half chuckling) No, I-
BIG BIRD: Oh, so this is funny to you? I can't fly, you know. I have to take the subway. Oh, I don't get stares. You make me sick (Spits on MEG, walks away) *****.

From The episode when the Griffins get their own reality show, and Meg is replaced by a sexier girl.
(The following has the camera look of MTV's The Real World. Chris is playing outside in the sprinkler as the camera films he and Peter)
PETER (With puppet MADAME, of "Solid Gold") : Hey, Camera guy, watch this! (to MADAME) Madame, your a lusty old broad!
PETER as MADAME: Darling, you're the one with your hand on my backside!
(The Camera now follows the more interest "MEG" as she joins CHRIS in the sprinkler)
PETER: Hey come back here! She's gonna sing "Rainbow Connection!"

I remember one from Whose Line Is It Anyway, they're doing one of those things where the style keeps changing and it was something about killer bees I think, they change to the style of Sesame Street and one of the guys says in a Bert voice "Can you spell Bee?" and another says in an Ernie voice "You can't spell B, Bert, it's only one letter!"

oh and, another Yoda one, there was a Star Wars parody tv special thing called Thumb Wars that had a Yoda-like puppet in it.. something like this

Luke-Skywalker-like character: Who are you?
Yoda-like thing: I am a puppet! Yeees!
Luke-Skywalker-like character: ... What?
Yoda-like thing: From the floor the man does control me! Yeees!
Luke-Skywalker-like character: I feel I am to train under you.
Yoda-like thing: Train you will I! Train you I will! Yeees!

In the season finale of Curb your Enthusiasm, Larry injures a food critic in a dodge ball game. Later he goes to apologise to the man whose arms are in full casts after breaking his thumbs. The critic says "I look like a @#$%ing Muppet!".

Well, this isn't exactly a Muppet reference, but, on SNL, there used to be a segment called Morning Latte (with Cheri Oteri and Will Ferrell). Will Ferrell's character's name was Tom WILKINS, named after the coffee that the Muppets, Wilkins and Wontkins, used to advertise for.

This isn't really a Muppet reference but I found this really cool so I'll share it anyways. On the first episode of Seinfeld the outside of the diner they're in is Pete's from the Muppets Take Manhatten. I was so excited when I observed that.
